To think that the Inhumans were originally sold as their "x-men" and had their movie lined up in phase 3 and would've been in Infinity War.

Yeah, it seemed like a sound plan. I mean... I was open to Marvel convincing me the Inhumans were worth a sh*t. A rushjob, cheap TV show simply isn't going to do that. The best they can hope for is sub-Agents of SHIELD season 1 premiere numbers, then quickly diminishing returns.

And look at the trailers. This is what they're leading with. Imagine if ratings slump and they get, like, a season 2 with an even lower budget. Yikes. "Lockjaw went away to college!" or something.

I was willing this to be amazing since anything less than that would jumped on by paranoid fans who believe Marvel is trying to replace the X-Men with the Inhumans. Sadly this looks not even decent.

Marvel should have just stuck to their guns and done an Inhumans movie. It seems that Infinity War will take more story cues from Hickman's Infinity than the original Infinity Gauntlet and I could see the scene of Black Bolt evacuating and destroying Attilan to prevent it falling to Thanos would have been a shoo in and cool to see in live action but it seems very unlikely now.

Ok, just got back from seeing this with my dad. 5 total people at our screening lol.

First of all, it's not as terrible as everyone is saying and the report of them not bothering to remove a "previously on Inhumans" recap between the two parts was a lie. It plays as a short movie. Also a post credit scene and then a trailer for the rest of the season.

So the acting was mostly really good and the effects were what you'd expect from an ABC show. That giant IMAX screen doesn't do Lockjaw any favors, he'll surely look better on the small screen.

The main cast is interesting and likable, but I don't get how we're supposed to root for these guys as our protagonists. They're living high on the hog while upholding a generations old caste system. I mean, there's sympathetic villains... and then there's Maximus. He's just plain right. Maybe they'll turn everything on its head and make sense of this, but right now that's the show's main problem.

So if you like Agents of Shield at all, you're gonna enjoy this at least a little bit. I can not recommend spending $20 on an IMAX ticket for it though.
